The FAN31790 is an intelligent fan controller that can control the speed of six fans using independent PWM outputs and dedicated TACH inputs. The device is designed for 4-wire fans but can still be used to modulate the speed of 3-wire and 2-wire fans via external power transistors. The device can monitor the speed of up to 12 fans with six dedicated tachometer inputs and any of the PWM output channels can be reconfigured as additional tachometers. Using a tachometer allows the device to automatically adjust the PWM duty cycles to maintain desired fan speeds. Target fan speeds and update rates can be configured via an I2C interface.
This device’s default power-up states are hardware configurable with external connections. The fan spin-up behavior, PWM frequency, PWM duty cycle, and the integrated watchdog timer can all be configured via pin configurations. This allows customization of fan behavior before custom settings are loaded via the I2C bus.
The FAN31790 supports a 1.62-3.6V supply voltage for PWM/TACH pins and the I2C interface. The FAN31790 is designed to be pin-to-pin and BOM-to-BOM compatible with common fan controllers and it offers a matching I2C interface and register map to leverage any pre-existing software drivers.
